tokyo has just about anything you want so it might be more helpful to list what you are looking for as opposed to what youre not.

Hakone sounds like a nice place to visit. One of my worries about living in Tokyo is that I may become overwhelmed by city life, so I would like to have some places in mind that move at a slower pace. Hiking and going to an onsen sound like great options.
And yeah, I realize that I may not have been very descriptive of places I would like to go to in Tokyo, but I guess that is because I am not fully sure. I realize Tokyo truly has a lot of things to offer, so I guess what I am asking the members here is if there is anything in particular that stands out among the rest. It could be a place that you really enjoyed during your own time in Tokyo, or ever a place you heard about from a friend and it sounded interesting.

That article was a good read. It was nice to be able to read about another person's study abroad experiences in Tokyo, and it gave me a few useful tips to keep in mind.
As for an electronic dictionary, I got 漢字そのまま楽引辞典 for my DS. I think I won't need more than that while I am in Japan. It has the ability to write in Kanji I don't know, and that would be my main concern.
